PM Modi's expression of 'Dimagi-Naxals' begins to expose all elements of this category
FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS On every Republic Day and the Independence Day of the nation, the President of India addresses the nation on the eve of the most important two days of the Republic. However, in regard to the Independence Day, the whole focus of the nation remains on the address of the Prime Minister from the ramparts of the Lal Qila in Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation consecutivelyfor the 13th time from the ramparts of the Lal Qila on the Independence Day this year. Keeping in view the current socio-political scenario and the background of the parliament's stormy monsoon session thatended two daysearlier to the IndependenceDay, the address received great attention this time from all quarters. Besides the usual referencesto the advancemarch of the nation, the security related issues and the welfare measures of the government (both currently in vogue and those to be taken up in future) the Prime Minister in his speech referred to the finish of the armed Naxalite movement in the countryfor which 31st March 2026 was the deadline fixed by the government.In connection with the successful annihilation of the violent Naxalism, PM Modi made a very pointed reference to those who still keep on harnessing Naxalismin their thoughts and continue to pursue the divisivetheory in the society. He categorizedthem as the 'Dimagi-Naxals'. Hewarned the country against theseDimagi Naxals(intellectual or mental Naxals), stating that while armed Naxalism has been largely eradicated from the forests, its hidden ideological backers and mindset particularly in urban areas still pose a threat by trying to create societal unrest. These peoplecontinue to operate within intellectual spaces, media and power corridors and leave no opportunity to influence people to keep on makingefforts to stage anarchy on streets and in the important institutions of the country. PM Modiurged the public to identify and isolate these ideological elements to keep the youth aligned with national development, its civilizational ethos and the mainstream. In order to add their bit, the Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharke, President of Congress Party and the leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, LoP in Lok Sabha and Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of Congress Legislature party in parliament didn't attend the main function of the Independence Day at Delhi. They virtually 'boycotted' the most important national function echoing their conduct in the recently held monsoon session of the parliament which created a very bad taste on an occasion of national prestige and honour. On the same day, all these three leaders of the Congress party were seen attending a programme at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi wherein they were seen objecting to the recitation of full national song -Vande-Mataram! This further added to the already existing distaste in this connection. The whole nation witnessed how the Congress top leadership in presence of their workers at their main office insulted the national song. This is indeed the lowest level of position that the Congress stooped to publicly in regard to Vande-Mataram that has been accorded the status of national song by the Indian constitution. In the recently held monsoon session of the parliament, Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill 2026 was duly passed by the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. The legislation amends the 1971 Act to place the national song -Vande-Mataram, on par with the National anthem, making intentional interruptions or insults a punishable criminal offense. Intentionally preventing the singing of the song or disturbing an assembly reciting it carries up to three years in prison, a fine or both. Any second or subsequent conviction mandates a minimum jail term of one year. The government of the day in recognition of the people's wishes, sentiments and the pent-up feelings for a long time, took this step to honour the national heritage and provide legal sanctity to the complete song as was written by its author Bankim Chandra Chatterji during its 150th anniversary milestone. The aspirations in this regard were expressed by the people immediately after passing the Bill and particularly during the Tiranga Yatra conducted on the sacred occasion of this year's Independence Day. What Congress leadership did, unfortunately, reflects the mindset that the Prime Minister in his address to the nation referred to when he talked about the Dimagi-Naxals active in the country. A number of politicians, the so-called intellectuals, activists and anti-Modi elements came out declaring that they are 'proud of being Dimagi-Naxals'. These elements included P. Chidambaram, Arvind Kejriwal, Mehbooba Mufti, Renuka Chaudhary and others of their ilks. Though the Union Minister Kiran Rejiju clarified that the label wasn't meant for the general political rivals, but for those who reject the constitution or back separatism and support anarchy and violence in this regard. All the above mentioned characters fit in the definition as recommended by both the Prime Minister and the Union Minister. Here it will be importantto go to some facts of history in this connection. Naxalism in its violent form began in India around 1967 during the peasant uprising in Naxalbari-Darjeeling, West Bengal. It followed the Maoist revolutionary ideology and was led by Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal. Naxalism expanded through violent land seizures, guerilla type attacks on the state forces and preaching pseudo-socialism. They later joined with the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and formed a number of splinter groups to pursue their agenda of armed activity against the landlords and the state of India. The leaders of this extreme-left oriented ideology argued that the socio-economic change required armed revolution and encouraged the extremist ideas in remote villages and tribal areas in a number of states. Though police and paramilitary deployments and actions suppressed the expansion of the revolt, however, it emerged as a major security threat internally. They grew support from some key urban intellectuals and other politically connected activists and leaders and emerged as a real threat in states like Bihar, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa and parts of Telangana. The high intensity violence unleashed by these Naxal-terrorists peaked around the year 2010 with nearly 2,000 violent incidents and hundreds of security and civilian deaths recorded in that single year.The active and passive support by the Urban-Naxals to this violence and the extremists involved in this carnage created a number of problems on ground for the State. On the one hand, the coordinated counter-insurgency measures, effective and aggressive camp setups by the security forces, road building and intelligence tracking reduced major rebel strongholds and on the other hand, the Urban-Naxals put all efforts to protect them legally, politically and by building a false narrative in their favour. On 25th May 2013, the Maoist insurgents in a deadly attack ambushed a full convoy of Congress leaders and workers in Jiram Ghati-Bastar region in Chhattisgarh. The ambush killed around 30 people, virtually wiping out the entire top leadership of the state Congress party. The dead included among others VC Shukla, Nand Kumar Patel, Mahendra Karma and Uday Mudliyar. The government of India in an affidavit to the SC during the UPA rule in November 2013 said that academicians and activists in urban centres had come to control 'mass organisations' organically linked to Maoists under the cover of human rights indicating how governments irrespective of political cover have seen 'urban-naxals' as a threat and noted hat these cadres are in many ways more dangerous than the cadres of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA). Sushil Kumar Shinde (UPA) led Home ministry in 2013 had clearly said 'how urban-naxal warfare was part of a strategyof CPI (Maoist) to mobilise opinion throughbodies tied to the party structure but which maintained a separate identity to avoid legal liability'. It is very unfortunate that P. Chidambaram, Renuka Chaudhary of the same Congress party and others are taking pride in being 'Dimagi Naxals' about which their own government had in the Supreme Court declared the intent and the strategy of these anti-social and anti-national elements. Salwa Judum was introduced as a state-sponsored vigilante movement against the Naxalites isome states in rural India. It was like a counter-insurgency operativein the hands of the local people that had gained bipartisan supportfrom the ruling as well as the opposition parties. Unfortunately, on thepetition filed by one Nandini Sundar, a sympathiser of the Naxals in the Apex Court, Justice B. Sudershan Reddy and Justice S.S.Najjardisbanded the Salwa Judum to the detriment of the anti-Naxal operations initiated by the then government. It was the same Justice Reddy who was later, after his retirement, sponsored by the Congress party and the other opposition parties as a candidate for the President's post. This invariably is a fit case of Dimagi-Naxal that was referred to by the Prime Minister in his speech. The BJP led NDA government immediately after assuming office in 2014 took very serious note of the activities of the Naxals and the Urban-Naxals both. Time specific plans were made to eradicate the Naxal groups. Time-scale strategy and planning was devised to organise large-scale surrenders of these extremists; and security pressure reduced their active zone significantly by the year 2026, marking a sharp decline in their geographic spread and active armed conflicts. As a travesity of justice in this regard, there are still many forces which continue to pursue the Naxal agenda in one or the other form. The expression of Dimagi-Naxals used by PM Modi has surely unmasked these elements and forced them to get exposed before the nation. It is just the beginning in this regard; more to follow in the very near future.

UPT20 2026: Mohammad Saif's 89 Secure 14-run DLS Win For Lucknow Falcons Over Kashi Rudras
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Lucknow Falcons secured their second consecutive victory of the UP T20 League Season 4, defeating defending champions Kashi Rudras by 14 runs via the DLS method in Match 17 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday. Kashi Rudras skipper Karan Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, the decision was immediately challenged by the Lucknow openers, Mohammad Saif and Himanshu Singh. The pair dominated the powerplay, stitching together an aggressive 67-run opening stand. The breakthrough finally came courtesy of the Kashi captain himself. Karan Sharma introduced himself into the attack and promptly dismissed Himanshu Singh for a well-made 36 off 22 balls, following it up shortly after with the wicket of Ajeet Verma (13). Despite wickets falling at regular intervals at the other end, opener Mohammad Saif remained an immovable force. Anchoring the innings beautifully, Saif accelerated perfectly, showcasing tremendous power-hitting to smash a brilliant 89 off 57 deliveries, decorated with three boundaries and seven towering sixes. His magnificent knock ensured the Lucknow Falcons posted a highly competitive 174/7 in their 20 overs. For the Kashi Rudras, Atal Bihari Vipin Rai was the pick of the seamers, returning figures of 3/38, while skipper Karan Sharma delivered a highly economical spell of 2/17. Chasing 175 for victory, the defending champions suffered a disastrous start. Lucknow pacer Akshu Bajwa bowled a devastating spell with the new ball, tearing through the Kashi top order to leave them reeling at 17/3. Bajwa's hostile burst included the massive wicket of Kashi skipper Karan Sharma, who fell for a golden duck. Attempting to rescue the innings, Impact Player Uvaish Ahmed provided some brief fireworks, scoring a quickfire 29 off 17 balls. However, his counter-attack was cut short by Vipraj Nigam, halting Kashi's momentum. Renowned Indian international and Lucknow Falcons captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar then joined the party, removing Upendra Yadav to plunge the Rudras deeper into trouble. With Kashi Rudras struggling at 104/5 in 14 overs, heavy rain interrupted play. The stoppage proved terminal for the match. According to the DLS par score, Kashi was found to be 14 runs short of the requirement, handing the Lucknow Falcons a 14-run victory. For his outstanding knock that set up the match, Mohammad Saif was rightfully adjudged the Player of the Match. With Kashi Rudras struggling at 104/5 in 14 overs, heavy rain interrupted play. The stoppage proved terminal for the match. According to the DLS par score, Kashi was found to be 14 runs short of the requirement, handing the Lucknow Falcons a 14-run victory.

Heavy rain, thunderstorms lash parts of J&K; Ramban admin issues safety alert
Ramban , August 23 : Heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning lashed several parts of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, prompting district administrations to issue safety advisories. In Ramban district, intense downpours and lightning were reported in different parts of the district. Taking precautionary measures, the Ramban district administration issued an alert, advising residents--especially those living in upper reaches and in close proximity to rivers, streams, and other water bodies--to remain cautious and avoid unnecessary travel during the inclement weather. Simultaneously, rain lashed several parts of the neighbouring Udhampur district, bringing down temperatures and causing wet conditions across the region. According to meteorological data, widespread precipitation and overcast conditions have led to a noticeable dip in temperatures across both Jammu and Kashmir divisions, accompanied by extremely high humidity levels. Srinagar City recorded a temperature of 16.2 degrees Celsius with 100 per cent rainfall, while Jammu City registered 22.4 degrees Celsius with 98 per cent rainfall. Among other major stations, the tourist resort of Gulmarg recorded the lowest temperature in the region at 10.6 degrees Celsius, while Pahalgam recorded 14.2 degrees Celsius alongside 96 per cent rainfall. In the Jammu division, Katra recorded 20.8 degrees Celsius with 95 percent rains, Banihal witnessed 17.4 degrees Celsius with 93 per cent showers, and Kupwara recorded 17 degrees Celsius under cloudy skies. According to the five-day forecast issued by the IMD, rainfall activity is expected to gradually taper off over the coming days, transitioning to scattered light showers across parts of southern and eastern districts including Ramban, Udhampur, Doda, Kishtwar, and Anantnag. However, the weather department has cautioned about the possibility of thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching up to 60 km/h at isolated places, alongside the persistent risk of localised flash floods, landslides, and mudslides in vulnerable hilly terrains over the next five days. According to IMD data, across the country, very heavy rainfall was recorded over Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, East Uttar Pradesh, West Uttar Pradesh, and East Madhya Pradesh yesterday. Additionally, heavy rainfall was also reported over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Assam and Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, West Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. Additionally, the weather agency predicted isolated heavy rainfall for Uttarakhand from August 22 to 28. Additionally, fairly widespread rainfall is expected in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim between August 22-28, over Jharkhand from August 23-28, and over Bihar between August 24-26.
